Retail and hospitality networking for every location

Zero-touch stores, payment segmentation, guest Wi-Fi and one console across your whole footprint, from the flagship to the newest opening

Hermes network for retail stores, POS, guest Wi-Fi, hotels and restaurants
The challenge

Many locations, one standard

Stores, hotels and restaurants all need the same things: payments that never stop, Wi-Fi guests can trust, cameras and back-office systems that just work. The hard part is delivering that consistently across dozens or hundreds of sites, without sending an engineer to every one.

Hermes gives every location the same blueprint. A new site ships with a Hermes edge, plugs in, and pulls its configuration from the Orchestrator. Payment systems, guest Wi-Fi and staff devices land on separate segments automatically, and your team manages the whole footprint from one place.

How Hermes fits

How Hermes fits retail and hospitality

Built for operators who run many sites with small IT teams

Zero-touch openings

Open a location without an engineer. The edge configures itself from a template.

Payment segmentation

Keep tills and payment terminals on their own protected segment at every site.

Guest Wi-Fi

Safe, branded connectivity for customers, kept apart from staff and payments.

Always-on links

PowerLink bonds and fails over between carriers so trading continues through an outage.

Cameras and doors

AI cameras and door access run on the same network and the same console.

One footprint

Manage every store, hotel or restaurant centrally, with the same policy everywhere.

FAQ

Retail and hospitality FAQ

Can’t find your answer? Our solutions architects are happy to help

As fast as the internet line is ready. The Hermes edge provisions itself zero-touch from the Orchestrator, so on-site staff only connect power and the WAN.

Point-of-sale and payment terminals are placed on their own network segment, separated from guest Wi-Fi and staff devices, with firewalling and inspection at the edge of every site.

Yes. Guest Wi-Fi runs on its own isolated segment from Hermes Wi-Fi 7 access points, so customers get connectivity without any path to business systems.

PowerLink bonds multiple links, such as fibre, broadband and LTE or 5G, and fails over between them, so payments and critical apps keep running.

Yes. Every site is managed from the Hermes Orchestrator with shared templates and policies, so a small team can run a large footprint.
